Hanging Baskets

Have you seen the hanging baskets at Hughes?  There are 4 or 5 of them across the front of the store.  Beautiful!!!  The red flowers are begonias, and the green heart shaped leaves are sweet potato vines.  
 
I tried an unscientific experiment a few weeks ago.  I cut up organic sweet potatoes, and placed them cut side down in one of my seed flats.  After a couple weeks they started to sprout!!!!  So now I can plant them in my flower beds to creep along the ground.  It is too late this year to plant them for the tubers though, they take 90-120 days.  But now that I know how to propagate them, I will start them in early spring.
 
That way we will have some to plant in the garden, and some to put in hanging baskets.  I love these.
 
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
